IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER.

WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.

WARNING

• Only use this smoker on a hard, level, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the smoker. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the smoker and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when smoker is in use. Do not place smoker under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.

• For household use only. Do not use this smoker for other than its intended purpose.

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate smoker indoors or in an enclosed area. In windy weather, place smoker in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products will cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from smoker.

• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with smoker lids and dampers open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in smoker and may result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.

• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback or explosion may occur causing severe burns.

• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

• Never add charcoal and/or wood through firebox side door or firebox air vent. When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.

• When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support bracket. If lid is not resting against the bracket, it could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.

• The firebox lid will be extremely hot during use. Use caution when reaching into or under smoker. Always wear oven mitts or gloves to protect your hands from burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.

• Place smoker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when smoker is in use. Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.

• Never move smoker when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes.

• Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

• Use caution when assembling and operating your smoker to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.

• Whether smoking or grilling, a metal bucket or tin can must be kept under the grease hole at all times to catch grease drippings and or hot embers. Check grease and/or ash level in metal bucket often and empty or change when w full. Use extreme caution as

the smoker, metal bucket or tin can and its contents will be hot.

WARNING

• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid, air vent and damper to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lids, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.

• To avoid catching fire, do not wear loose clothing or allow hair to hang freely while using smoker.

• Close lids and all dampers to suffocate flame/charcoal when finished cooking.

• Never leave coals and ashes in smoker unattended. Before smoker can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be

removed from smoker. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a noncombustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.

• Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F in cooking chamber. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of the firebox and cooking chamber. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your smoker. Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.

• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around smoker to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.

• After each use, clean the smoker thoroughly and reapply a light coat of oil to interior to prevent rusting. Cover the smoker to protect it from the weather.

• Use caution when lifting or moving smoker to prevent strains and back injuries. Moving smoker may require the help of an additional person.

• We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of fire extinguisher.

• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product are not recommended and

may lead to personal injury or property damage.

• Store the smoker out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.

• Do not attempt to service smoker other than normal maintenance as explained in “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections on page 13 of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation only.

• Properly dispose of all packaging material.
